Michell’s Poppies 
One of our favorite and most popular 
flowers, producing, during the blooming 
period, a profusion of brilliant colors and 
shades. Seeds should be sown as early in the

very thinly and barely cover the seed, press 
down firmly, and they will come up in a few 
days. Several sowings of the annual varieties 
may be made at intervals to have a succession 
of bloom.
